Nothing on the local news. Very sad. Fox News is reporting 7 dead and between 300-400 injured. Definitely sad to hear.

Holy crap, that was insane!
That's horrible to see.
Couldn't imagine being involved in something like that. Much less so unfortunate to be living in the epicenter where it happened. One moment your having dinner, the next moment BOOM and lights out

Over the years China has had some very large fireworks explosions before.
The pictures of an entire factory blowing up were just amazing. It was hard to believe that plain old fireworks could do that level of damage.
This series of explosions look like at least ten shipping containers went up all at once. But it could have been military type explosives. But the fire raining down looked like shell insert to me.

second blast was equivalent to 22 tons TNT they say.
I wonder what the "dangerous cargo" was.

We just lost an order of cranes to Tianjin.

Death toll up to 17 now, 32 in critical condition and over 400 injuries which are typically from rocks and cuts. Most likely from the shockwave and people standing by windows and doors.

Look at all the cars that got destroyed at Renault's warehouse.

Its crazy to see how massive and powerful that explosion was and realize hiroshima was 682 times more powerful. Then to realize Russia's most powerful nuke is 2,590 times more powerful than Hiroshima.
That's beyond anything I can imagine. What a crazy planet we live on.

That's just insane. That shock wave was intense even with as far away as those videos were. I couldn't image being closer than that. Such a tragedy. Hope the death toll is on the low side of the predictions.
NEW TALLY in #Tianjin: 44 dead,
521 injured (52 in serious condition), 18 firefighters missing

Don't forget "China", multiply that by 5 or more. They are never truthful about death tolls.
God be with all the people involved in that. That's terrible.
Check out the force of the second blast on this one. Crazy stuff.
